A Bank of Inverness branch was robbed about 4:15 p.m. Friday. Six employees - but no customers - were in the branch at 2400 State Road 44 when a man approached the counter and demanded money. He did not show a weapon or suggest he had one, Citrus sheriff's spokeswoman Gail Tierney said. The man took an undisclosed amount of cash, ran and eventually drove off in a rust-colored pickup, a witness told investigators. The robber was a white man in his mid to late 20s who stood about 5 feet 10, weighed 165 pounds and had facial hair, Tierney said. He wore a dark hooded sweat shirt, sweat pants, sunglasses and a black hat with a Pittsburgh Steelers emblem.

Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Officer Bill Wade said the child was pinned underneath the vehicle, but by the time emergency responders arrived, he was out from under the car and talking. Wade said the boy was flown to a hospital for precautionary purposes and his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening. The Hillsborough Sheriff's Office was investigating, Wade said. But a sheriff's spokesman could not provide further details.
